Fry it in butter, add soy and sesame oil at the end

it should be idiot proof. The rice ain't done, until they're jumping around

Try this for a simple first time fried rice.
Ingredients: rice, egg, frozen peas, bean sprouts, soy sauce, sesame oil, peanut oil for cooking

1. Use peanut oil for cooking, and start with the egg. Cook it until it's the consistency you want, then pull it out and set it to the side.

2. Make sure there's plenty of peanut oil in the pan and crank up the heat. When the oil starts to smoke, add the rice. Stir it up in the pan and let it get a slighty brown color. It shouldn't stick.

3. Once rice is fried up nice, add soy sauce, frozen peas and bean sprouts. Stir it up until the frozen peas are thawed and hot, then pull it from the heat, chop up the egg and add it, season with sesame oil, salt, some MSG, and mix it up, then serve.

Good luck.

Don't forget the oyster sauce, shaoxing, or sesame oil

Rice needs to be very dry because at rice-frying temperatures adding moisture will hurl rice all over your kitchen

>> No.16666361

Crank the heat, push the rice aside when you add the soy sauce to let most of the water boil out before mixing. Don't use butter what the fuck >>16666310

Definitely don't use the soy sauce to get the coloring. That will make it way too salty.

>Fry it in butter
this can be viable, but I recommend clarified butter if you had to.
Use butter for emulsified sauce to pour on top of the fried rice
>>16666337
>Make sure there's plenty of peanut oil in the pan
no. Relatively speaking, you don't need plenty of oil to make good fried rice. Having lots of oil will just make it greasy.

kenji lopez has one that seems pretty simple and probably what i'm going to go with. weissman has a video in his "but better" series that i was recommended and i watched that one and i'll probably steal some techniques from it also.

Using cold oil with damp rice is never going to get you a great result.

Don't listen to this retard. Just don't use too much of it and be aware about how much salt overall you are adding to it

you can use fresh rice but if you leave the rice in the fridge over night it dehydrates it a bit, which makes the rice absorb flavor better.

If you're trying to emulate restaurant fried rice you need a SHITTONNE of oil. The right amount of oil is 'slightly less than overwhelmingly oily'
infact restaurant food generally is about adding as much fat/oil as humanly possible to food in a way which is not disgusting. That's essentially half of what good food is about, the same thing for salt.
And most of what we think of as 'oily' food is not actually oil. It's an emulsion of water and oil. It's caused by poor technique. Food actually saturated with oil/fat is typically just delicious.

Although, fried rice at home, is typically completely different from restaurant fried rice. It's a vehicle for leftovers for one and also you might want it not to have so much oil. But the oil is 'right' in terms of the restaurant dish which is what most people asking how to cook it want.

>> No.16667037

>>16666284
use small portions. you don't want to steam the rice, you want it fried so if you add too much it will have too much moisture

>>16666596
I like the art of cooking channel. ignore the steps to prep the rice and just follow the cooking procedure. you need to use less rice than in the video since you won't have a giant commercial wok

superhot oil igniting is what causes wok hei
I can get decent wok hei in a saute pan.

no fucking way I can get it in my wok though and the wok is worth using for fried rice for mixing reasons. It's terrible for high heat cooking on a home range.

Do you really get wok hei making fried rice?

>> No.16667211

"wok hei" actually comes from adding a tiny bit of urine
